By Located just below Finland, Estonia can sometimes be a little off the radar for many travelers… but it really, really shouldn’t be.
Estonia is a truly unique place in Europe. The language and culture are like nothing you find elsewhere in Europe. Although it is often lumped together with Latvia and Lithuania as the Baltics, it is very different from them. In fact, Estonia has more in common with Finland.
Like Latvia and Lithuania, Estonia used to be a part of the Soviet Union and gained independence in 1991. Despite having a rich history and culture, Estonia is a very modern place. You may be surprised to hear that Estonia is considered the “Silicon Valley of Europe”. The country is a hub of tech start-ups and birthed programs like Skype. They also offer e-Residency for anyone in the world, so if you fall in love with Estonia, you can start an independent company there.
And you’ll likely fall for this charming country once you’ve visited.
